Information-mediated control of pervasively sensed public transport networks during disruptions

Francesco Corman

Summary

In public transport disruptions, the choice of travelers is only among the alternatives they are aware of. The understanding of the travelers under an unexpected disruptive event is limited, often based on incomplete, untimely information, which causes much frustration, and limits the potential of any optimal disposition timetable, found by optimization methods. This project uses real time information as a pervasive sensing device; determines a framework determining feedback actions, and disseminates transit information to operators and travellers, seen as a pervasive control instrument.
